Deuteronomy 8: Jesus and Deuteronomy

About this episode

The episode discusses how God's Word sustains believers in testing times, as illustrated by Moses in Deuteronomy and Jesus in Matthew.

In Deuteronomy 8, Moses teaches that God's Word sustains His people in the wilderness, and Jesus later wields this same truth against Satan in Matthew 4, showing that every part of Scripture equips believers with the spiritual sword needed to endure testing and win the fight of faith.
